A small Petzval type I picked up for pennies. I think it's uncoated. Sharpness is not bad at all, bokeh is very smooth. There was no light when I took these samples, just more of the horrid gray weather we are cursed with here so I will have to wait for better weather to really try this lens out, but it looks promising.

Got some proper Petzval effects there.
Is it my imagination or is the center "sweet spot" a bit off center ?

Aldis was quite common in Britain. The firm were camera and lens makers and dealers also, plus lots of lighting and photography equipment, and projection lenses like this. They had a lot of patents.
A household word also as one of the Aldis brothers invented the Naval signal lamp and all of these were called an Aldis, like copiers were called Xerox or vaccums were called Hoover.

Aldis were quite a big company, lenses were just part of their products, they were famous for their signalling lamps:

Not sure how big the sweet spot and image circle is, it certainly covers 24x36 well.

It certainly loves the colours, especially the reds that so often bleed into a horrible mess. The first picture is excellent, and the skins tones on the portrait of your dad are good. Perhaps this lens suits the gloom, which we have as well.

Cheers guys. Today the weather is atrocious, almost no light at all, heavy rain, but fingers crossed I get to play with this lens some more soon as I really like it.
